It's time to get a flu shot. Influenza vaccine is available from doctors, county health departments, and many other locations. To find a site near you visit the American Lung Association Flu Clinic Locator.
Influenza takes a big toll on young children. Each year in the United States, an average of 20,000 children younger than 5 are hospitalized because of flu-related complications. As many as 1 in 5 children under age 5 may have to see the doctor, visit the ER or other urgent care for treatment for flu. And tragically, around 100 children die from this serious disease each year. Q: Where can I get immunizations for my child?
A: Contact your regular doctor. If you don't have a doctor call your local county health department. Information on how to contact your county health department may be found here.
Oklahoma now ranks 15th in the nation for the percentage of children ages 19 months through 2 years of age fully immunized against 10 deadly diseases.
